Hey HSC...... great meeting you, Steff and some of your gang last Saturday. Thanks a million for the trip to the Stadium Club. I'm slowly but surely getting my kidneys back in shape!

Method...if I need any s*** from you I'll scrape it off your teeth. You're too much of a wimp to attend to begin with. There will be plenty of room for both parties.

My bet is that Wright will be back in ChiTown next week. Koch looked ok to me Saturday night.... that HR hit against him was a fluke.

You may see his playing time increase when the good weather arrives if he keeps swinging the hot bat! I won't be surprised if his magic number is closer to 100 than 70 this year.

Jiminez is the 2B this year, possibly SS next year...............that is why Harris is getting the brunt of the time at 2B in Charlotte.

I have this feeling that this could be Sandy's year......he reported in the best shape in some time. He might have just be THE key pickup in the offseason.

And now Byrd. Maddux hasn't been nearly as effective ever since they implemented a fair strike zone and quite giving him the strike in the opposite batters box!

Paul Byrd to have elbow surgery on Friday to remove bone chips and will be out 2-4 months.
